SUMMARY:Quantum optimization using superconducting qubits: A new platform
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nRAKESH TIWARI\, MCGILL UNIVERSITY\n\nQuantum phenom
 ena have the potential to speed up the solution of hard\noptimization prob
 lems. For example quantum annealing\, based on the\nquantum tunnelling eff
 ect\, has recently been shown to scale\nexponentially better with system s
 ize as compared with classical\nsimulated annealing. However\, current rea
 lizations of quantum\nannealers with superconducting qubits face two major
  challenges.\nFirst\, the connectivity between the qubits is limited\, exc
 luding many\noptimization problems from a direct implementation.\n
